What are the reasons for amenorrhea?

Patient's question:

I don't know how to deal with the sudden increase of over ten pounds in weight. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with taking progesterone. My period came, and the doctor said that after taking the medication, as long as it's regular, there's no big problem. But this time, two months have passed and my period still hasn't come. I want to ask, what could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

The condition of amenorrhea is related to your sudden weight gain of over 10 pounds. I don't know how your weight gain is related to dieting, but improper dieting can lead to menstrual disorders. Additionally, if you can't figure out the reason for your weight gain, you should undergo a detailed health check-up to rule out wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism. Low levels of gonadotropin and estrogen contribute to this. Moreover, patients should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
